Quicken 2015

I don't see Quicken Deluxe 2015 for Windown on the Intuit Quicken Website? Where is Amazon.com getting it from?

From Intuit of course. It takes time to package and ship the CDs out to the retailers. In the past Intuit has been reluctant to piss off the retailers by offering downloads early. As retail sales become less important, I supose that reluctance goes away.

That said, I think I'll wait for a deal rather than pay $75 for the download of QD2015.

Replacing Quicken more often than once every THREE years is simply THROWING your money away. Period. If you have money to burn, best just throw the $75 out the window.

Amazon.com has Quicken 2015 for download starting today. Anyone here get it yet? What do you think of it? Are the differences/improvements between it and 2014 worth the money ($74.95 for Quicken Deluxe) or is this one of the years I should skip?

Thanks, I will also.

I'm not sure I'll get it at all. Each new version seems to have less and less in the way of improvements that look valuable, and so far, there seems to be nothing new of value to me here. But I'm open to being persuaded otherwise, if somebody here has more info.

Although I haven't missed any of the last few years' releases, I used to buy a new one only every other year. I think I'll probably go back to that practice and this will be another year I'll skip (unless a deal that's so good I can't turn it down comes along).

Got it last night, been using 2011, needed the online update feature otherwise I don't use all the bells and whistles. so far everything is smooth and updates working after tweaking. After hearing 2014 wasn't worth getting I am glad I waited. Recommend it so far!

I just got 2015. One of my financial instiutions is not connecting through direct connect (NMIS). I have reset the online connection several times but no luck. Error OL-220-A I can connect through their website. Any ideas?

Thanks

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's what you get for wasting your money by needlessly upgrading.

I always wait for it to appear at Costco in Disk. I would rather download b ut it is sold for $60 (a significant percentage savings) and old habits die hard. I very seldom find the upgrade of one year to be worth the cost and some features like mobile were of no interest to me at all. Still, I like g etting a new program for $5/month on average so I splurge.

Thank you, that was very helpful.

Shark,

A very unhelpful and useless comment. There is nothing in AR post, clipped below, that indicates the version of Quicken being updated. For all you know, he may be updating a version that has "sun set" or is about to be. The comments related to upgrading from 2014 to 2015 were Ken Blake's not AR's.

I would hope that you realize, by now after all these years, that your opinion about how people should 'mange their money' is well known. I have no idea why you find it necessary to continue to beat a 'dead horse'.

If you can offer AR and solution to his 'Error OL-220-A issue, I'm sure that he'd appreciate you help. If not, posting a sarcastic reply is not necessary or appreciated.

Yes, if I get it, I will also probably wait for a lower price, either at Costco or elsewhere. But I haven't decided yet whether to get it, and I was hoping someone here who had it and has used it could help me make up my mind.

For many years, I would buy it about every other year, but I've bought all of the last few. Why? I don't really know, and there have been hardly any benefits to me in doing so. So my preliminary thoughts are to skip this year, but I can be talked into changing my mind, if there are good reasons not to skip it.

I just wait for my usual 3 year sunset, as I mostly need Q for the online download for my various investments. Currently running Q2012 - so....coming up...

I used to get Q every year week it appeared. Yes, I know others find this silly, but I used to get a nerdish enjoyment of playing with a new version of financial software. To me, it's a hobby.

Saying this, Q has had very little functional upgrades over the past few years, EVEN FOR ME. The last one they made was the ability to search within an individual register as a filter. I found that one quite useful.

I have gone to buying the Turbotax bundle with Q which typically appears in the late November timeframe. Thus, the reason for this long winded post. One might consider holding off until then for the bundle.

That's definitely been the case lately. Quicken is a very mature product and until something changes, there's not likely to be major changes going forward.

That said, I won't follow Intuit into the cloud (aka Mint) and do want to encourage them to continue publishing a desktop version, so I'll probably pick it up at Costco at some point as a bundle with TurboTax.

For me, I just might wait a while and then try Q2015, and hope that it fixes the downloading crashes and other nuisances that I experience Q2014.

Crashes? Nuisances? I experience neither in Quicken 2014. It's been fine here.
